Hi Martin, 
Please see my example of the yangvalidator not working - we can't use these YANG 1.1 functions until this is resolved. 
Thanks,

    Hi,
    
    I think we can agree that the model in this I-D should use
    derived-from-or-self() instead of string comparison, and conclude this
    discussion here.  I suggest that if we need to further discuss the
    representation of identityrefs, then we start a new thred on the
    NETMOD ML.
